May,

>>>My wife bought 12 Talavera plates in Tubac, Arizona. We >love the different patterns but there is one problem with them. >They are all glazed with the exception of the very bottom rim, >the section that rests on the table. We now find that after >taking them out of the dishwasher, the exposed pottery on this >bottom rim has absorbed some water and it will slowly seep >out.
Is there some sort of sealer or other product I could buy >to apply to
the exposed surface that would seal out water and >be dishwashe safe as
well. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. <<

"There is a theory which states that
if ever anyone discovers exactly what
the universe is for and why it's here,
it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizzarly
inexplicable."

"There is another theory which states
that this has already happened!"
